Given the rich historical significance between RL and Wembley Stadium which took place pre-Super League, the statue needs to commemorate a Rugby League event/individual from that former classical era.
There is no commemorative place for anything from the Super League era since the relationship between the game itself and Wembley has been downgraded by Super League's obsession with itself to the detriment of everything else in the game. Nothing of note has taken place at Wembley in Rugby League terms during the Super League era anyhow.
The Fox/Offiah idea is a good one BTW.

Possibly the worst and most uncompetitive CC final ever and four of the softest tries scored in the pro game let alone a showpiece event.
I'd rather wipe the whole day from th history books, it was a travesty of a game!
The Fox/ Offiah idea is growing on me

So, with help from photoshop and a bit of creativity can anyone give us an artists impression of the would be Offiah-Trophy-Fox picture thingy? I'm crap at stuff like that. The RFL will have to be shown pictures because they won't have a clue who we're on about or what the images look like.

Imagine those two iconic images back-to-back on the same podium. It would be incredible. Tell me of another sporting statue that you know of that exemplifies the drama and entertainment of its sport. I can't think of one because usually their just boring portrait statues. It's also a bridge between the old part-time RL and the foundations of the professional era. It's absolutely perfect and whoever thought of the idea first should be applauded. Bravo! |

looking at both those pictures, the important thing is not the person, but the feeling the person is experiences
more artistic and less arguments about the club/personality involved
get it commissioned!

Let's not miss this opportunity. We need to send a petition to RFL [udemanding[/u that this one is used. |

Apart from the historic occasion of a French team and first non-English side reaching the final of the Challenge Cup, you are right |

I am going to be biased on this and Say Fox and only fox. His lengthy career was when rugby was more widely competitive as a whole and has contributed more to Rugby league than Offiah. Don't get me wrong Offiah was a good player but was part of a Wigan team that dominated rugby league at the time. Fox could only be described as a selfless player our contributed in every aspect of the game. I know some people will say that it's about Wembley but for me Fox is deffo deserved of this. Didn't Offiah also come RU back ground as well. Think Fox has an MBE as well?
